Taken from the song "This is Home," by Switchfoot, these words signify that I am always moving forward in my journey with Christ. Each experience, especially the painful ones, offers a chance to grow and to be more like Him.

Have you ever wished you could erase the past and get a clean start? You might feel that if you could erase the pain of your past, you could move on and be free. Shauna learns this isn't quite the case in a recent Ted Dekker novel entitled, entitled The Kiss.

Shauna awakes from a coma with part of her memory erased. She doesn't remember the terrible accident that left her brother brain-damaged. She doesn't remember the drug treatments she's undergone, supposedly for her own good. And she certainly doesn't remember meeting and falling in love with Wayne, her fiance.

What she does know is that everyone blames her for the accident and the brain damage to her brother. She's always been the black sheep of the family. Her father has been distant since the night Shauna's mother died during her birth. He left her to the devices of her abusive stepmother and has never been the father Shauna needs.

Shauna is convinced that she would never hurt her brother and so sets out to prove her innocence and find out what really happened that night.
